...Allen ("I'm what's known as Philadelphia's fat Shirley Chisholm"), Colorado's new Democratic U.S. Representative, Pat Schroeder, 32, the mother of two preschoolers, and Baltimore Councilwoman Barbara Mikulski, who made a strong and witty plea that the convention not forget the blue-collar woman...
Women are still clustered in relatively low-pay, low-status jobs.
